Book Blogger Hop: What's in a Name?

"What's in a name? That which we call a roseBy any other name would smell as sweet."~Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare

I had no intention of joining the blogosphere's best BOOKPARTY this week, but decided to participate when I read this week's question from Jen B. from I Read Banned Books: Do you ever wish you would have named your blog something different?

This is why I couldn't resist doing the Hop, even though I could be, and should be, reading. Great question, at least to me. When I first started this book blog, I didn't know what to call it. For simplicity's sake, I think, I decided to use my user name, Suko, and very briefly, my blog was just called "Suko" (the few friends who dropped by probably didn't know what to think--did I have an alter ego?). Very soon, though, I realized that I needed to add something more to my blog's title, and came up with Suko's Notebook. A notebook is a book with blank pages for writing or other uses, as well as a small, portable computer, so it fits my blog's character and purpose pretty well. For the most part, I am happy with my blog's title, although sometimes when people ask me in spoken conversation what my blog's title is, I may falter just a bit.

What about you?

Hosted by Jennifer from Crazy-for-Books, this Book Blogger Hop lasts from February 25 until February 28. It's a fabulous, friendly way for book bloggers to socialize, connect with other book lovers, and discover new book blogs. If you'd like me to hop by your blog, please leave a comment.

Well I took the leap and changed my blog name from what it originally was because, although I like the first name -- Find Your Next Book Here -- it proved to be sooooo long. It was one of those things I didn't consider when I blithly started my blog.

I named mine after my favourite word. Serendipidy was the name of my first manuscript when I was ten! Probably couldn't call it a manuscript, more like a long story that didn't seem to go anywhere but had very detailed characters! Then ever since this word has just kept cropping up. I wouldn't change it, but I would like to change my blog address to match it, making it easier for people to find me.

When I began my blog on january, i was afraid not findind a title !I was sure wanting to write about books, but thought it would be possible writing too about other topics.I was happy to find 'Une vie à lire" because it could be read with two meanings The first one "To spend my life in reding"The second one "You can read about my life."Sorry for my english !

I like the name of your blog, Suko's Notebook. A notebook is what we write in. It works for me!

I started My Reading Corner blog because I wanted a place to keep track of the books I read with a brief review about the books. It is really for my own entertainment, as is all my blogs. I seem to have themes for all my blogs, except Butterflies and Candles, it is my personal and test blog.

I originally started Under My Apple Tree back in 2006 as an eclectic blog with no real focus. I reinvented it as a book blog in 2009. The apple tree exists ... it's in my backyard. I spend a lot of time gardening and reading there so the name means something to me. And yes, I'm happy with it and wouldn't change it.

Hi! I am a new follower. I still like my name since it is relatively new. It fits what I do in life: Reflect. On my site I reflect about books but in life I reflect about everything (reflect is a nice professional way of saying daydream I'm sure).

I'm one of those people that has changed their blog title half way through blogging. I honestly can't say that I would of changed it if my fiancee hadn't come up with such a cute name...I just couldn't resist :)

I actually love the name of my blog a lot, and I wasn't sure that I was going to when I picked it out. I think it's hard to find a blog name that really stands out and suits who you are as a reader, but I also think that Suko's Notebook is a great name!

Oooohh ok! I thought Suko might have been a middle name. I love the name Suko by the way. I wish I could change my blog name, just because the name is the same name of a hotel in some other country!! Oh well..Natalie :0)
